Services
Historic Preservation
Long-term planning underpins successful stewardship of historic properties. We provide historic designation, Section 106 advising, and preservation planning services.
Listing a property on a state, local, or national register can protect it and enable financing. We manage the process: research, document preparation, outreach, and testimony.
Section 106 relies on input from municipalities, tribes, nonprofits, and the public about federal activities that may affect historic properties. Our technical advising allows stakeholders to protect places that matter. Learn more.
Our urban planning approach empowers communities to preserve history while meeting local needs. We provide technical assistance to commissions and individuals, write policies, manage grants, and revise design guidelines.
Research + Interpretation
Historical research is a major undertaking. We translate archival findings into formats that serve clients’ audiences.
We have explored archives from Washington, DC to Bozeman, MT. We use our findings to create exhibitions, educational programming, tours, promotional materials, reports, articles, and more.
Not sure who your audience is or how to reach them? We provide outreach and engagement services for clients to build genuine and mutually beneficial relationships with new segments of their communities.
Our experience forging real relationships with community members allows us to determine their interest before the research and interpretation is underway, ensuring that the final products serve their intended audience.
Organizational Administration
Institutions don’t run themselves - people do. We use our cross-sector expertise to advise nonprofits, governments, and companies on operating and communicating better.
Organizations seeking a fresh perspective on achieving an ambitious goal, accessing new funding sources, or adjusting services turn to us for straightforward advice. We recommend only those changes that advance an institution’s mission.
We speak the languages of history, preservation, and urban planning fluently. We ensure nuanced and technical concepts are effectively conveyed to any audience.
Our specialties include advocacy plans, communications services, social media strategies, grant writing, and meeting facilitation.
